Beautiful weather for a quick hike to the overlook and around the lake. No cows or horses grazing on the way to the overlook. Water level in the lake seemed a bit low.

Delightful hike with the kids around the lake and over to the overlook. White horse lake is so beautiful and not overly crowded. It's always a nice place to camp and hike.

We saw horses on the way back to the lake from the overlook.

We also took a drive over to JD Dam Lake and Sycamore Point overlook which are great nearby sites to see. The overlook is especially breathtaking. A much better view than the Overlook view from the hike near white horse lake!

Note that you can walk entirely around the lake despite what the official route shows.

More wildflowers than I thought I would see given the heat!
